Height of overburden fracture based on key strata theory in longwall face.
Among the three overburden zones (the caving zone, the fracture zone, and the continuous deformation zone) in longwall coal mining, the continuous deformation zone is often... -
"Self-Assisted" Amoeboid Navigation in Complex Environments
Background: Living cells of many types need to move in response to external stimuli in order to accomplish their functional tasks; these tasks range from wound healing to immune... -
Dynamic mechanical characteristics and failure mode of serpentine under a thr...
The improved split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) was used to study the dynamic mechanical properties and failure characteristics of surrounding rock in deep rock mass... -
Root and shoot competition lead to contrasting competitive outcomes under wat...
BACKGROUND: Competition is a critical process that shapes plant communities and interacts with environmental constraints. There are surprising knowledge gaps related to... -
